New Test UpWell, the site has a new Testfor
you to try. The last test asked "How many MK games has Scorpion been
included in (as a playable character)?" The answer was 6, and from
the long list of winners, I could tell that this was an easy question.
Well, this next test question may be even easier, but what the hell.
The new question for Test #16 is "Who is the man responsible for Mortal
Kombat?" So, hop on over to the Testpage
and try your luck... you could be a winner.

Some Moloch screens availableI don't even know if this is a
valid update to have, but I was surfing around the Official
MK: Deadly Alliance Site, and checking out the new character
bios section, I saw how there are about four screenshots of Moloch that
are viewable in his section of that page. I only wanted people to
know this because as of now, I don't think we've seen Moloch in any screenshots,
just sketches and stuff like that. So, check that out if you're interested.

New MK: Deadly Alliance screenshotsOver the last couple of days, a
dozen new screenshots have surfaced for our viewing pleasure. First,
GameSpotcame
through with six
new screenshotsfor the Playstation 2 that portray battles
between Scorpion, Rayden (notice how it's not spelled Raiden), Drahmin,
Kitana, and Johnny Cage. Rayden can be seen with a new costume which
represents more of the look he had in the first movie, complete with ponytail,
ropes, metal hat against his back, and shield. Johnny Cage can also
be seen in his alternate costume, the tuxedo, while Scorpion sports his
deadly spear. These nice screenshots also show some new arenas that
are now playable. These GameSpot screens will of course only be available
for 1 week before they become a pay-only feature, but thanks to some friends,
you can get them at this site. Now, as for TRMKand
MK5.org,
both sites recieved three different screens each for their sites.
TRMK sports battles between Johnny Cage (in his tux), Frost (this
is the official name for Sub-Zero's sister), Kung Lao, and Kitana.
MK5.org sports battles between Drahmin, Kano, Kung Lao (in alternate costume),
and Kitana. Let's just say that the new arenas, spurts of blood,
and characters look good so far, so make sure you check out all the screens
in the MK: Deadly Alliance sectionas
soon as possible.

Official MK: Deadly Alliance Site updatesRecently, the Official
MK: Deadly Alliance Siteupdated with the biography and fighting
styles for the new character Mavado. Mavado, a member of the Red
Dragon, is an enemy of Kano and his Black Dragon Association, and he has
teamed up with Shang Tsung and Quan Chi to defeat Kano once and for all.
This sounds interesting, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates soon.

MK: Deadly Alliance ads now in magazinesMK5.orgwas
first to report that MK: Deadly
Allianceis now being advertised in magazines. The August,
2002 issue of the "Official U.S. Playstation Magazine" just has a basic
ad printed in the magazine that mentions "brutal new Fatalities" and other
things. Backing up the fact that magazines are always behind the
internet, the ad says that the release is for Fall, 2002, but we all know
that this has changed recently, so I don't think attention should be payed
to that. Just be on the lookout for more ads in the future as the
time nears for the game's release.

July 5, 2002

Sorry for the lack of updates, but
work is keeping me busy. Anyway, here's some stuff you should know,
and happy belated 4th of July.MK: Deadly Alliance release date pushed backRemember when I said that the date
for the game release would guaranteed change before the summer was out?
Well, look who was right. Recently, Midwayreleased
their Full
2002 Year release listto the press, and in it we see that
MK:
Deadly Alliancehas changed from September 22 to a late October/early
November, 2002 release. Hopefully it will be out before the end of
the fourth quarter (December 31st) and Christmas, but then again, who knows.
Of course this setback in discouraging, but looking at past MK games, we
know that it's better to hold off on the release and make the game flawless
and complete as opposed to shipping it on schedule full of bugs and glitches.
So, those of you who plan to buy the game have to wait a little longer.

New poll upContinuing with tradition, I've
added a new Pollto
the site. This poll asks which system you'll be buying MK:
Deadly Alliancefor, and you can choose either Paystation 2,
GameCube, X-Box, or GameBoy Advance. The last poll unfortunately
deleted itself (damn freepolls), so I don't know the results to the question
and honestly I don't remember the question. So, make sure you vote
for this Pollbecause
I'm curious to see what system will win.
